Dr. Lilly Mbinglo, CPA is Partnering with Better Business Bureau of Greater Hampton Roads, Norfolk, Virginia
I am pleased to share an upcoming partnership that is particularly meaningful to me. This August, I will be partnering with the Better Business Bureau of Greater Hampton Roads for a three-part Lunch and Learn business education series in Norfolk, Virginia.
The sessions will take place on August 12, 19, and 26, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the BBB office, 586 Virginian Drive, Norfolk, Virginia.
We will address three areas that every serious business owner should understand:
Tax Strategy, Business Structures, and Family & Business.
This partnership is special to me because it connects directly with one of the missions that has shaped my professional life: to teach and distribute useful knowledge.
As a CPA, consultant, business owner, and accounting professor, I have seen what happens when people have access to the right information at the right time.
I have also seen the cost of decisions made without adequate knowledge. Business owners should understand the financial and structural decisions that affect what they are building.
Knowledge should not remain within universities, professional offices, or technical publications. It should reach the people who need it and be presented in a way they can understand and apply.
That is why opportunities like this matter to me.
The Better Business Bureau has a long history of promoting trust in the marketplace, and BBB of Greater Hampton Roads serves communities across Southeastern Virginia, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and Northeast North Carolina. To contribute practical business and financial education through this platform is both a privilege and a responsibility.
If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, or professional in the Hampton Roads area, I would be glad to have you join us. Bring your lunch, bring your questions, and come ready to learn.
- August 12: Tax Strategy
- August 19: Business Structures
- August 26: Family & Business
All sessions run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Norfolk, Virginia.
I look forward to the conversations, the questions, and most importantly, helping more people make informed decisions about the businesses and legacies they are building.

AI is everywhere in supply chain conversations, yet many organizations still apply it to workflows designed decades ago, resulting in incremental gains rather than transformation. This session explores how leaders can redesign work, not simply deploy tools. The first step is automating effort-heavy, exception-driven processes that consume attention and distort decision signals. With that foundation, organizations can move toward AI-enabled and agentic operating models that combine automation with human oversight.
Learn how autonomous systems can sense change, recommend and execute actions, accelerate decision cycles, improve responsiveness, and allow planners to focus on complex decisions where human judgment delivers the greatest value.

Because bouncing back is not enough. The framework that takes leaders from Surviving to Limitless.
Most of us have heard that resilience is the key to getting through hard times. But what if resilience is just the beginning? What if the real opportunity is not to bounce back but to bounce forward, into a version of yourself that is stronger, wiser, and more purposeful than before?
This is not a presentation. It is a conversation, a reflection, and a turning point.
